Re: 56 vs 90: Who is more versatile? Discuss.

Thanks for the useful discussion. I think I have to agree that the 56 is more versatile in that case; based on my 'real experience'.

I thought, why not look at the EXIF statistics from the last three folders of shots? The shots were taken mostly with the 16-55 + 55-200. I note that the 16-55 is my most used lens. I think I have learnt to use the 55 focal length because it was the longest the 16-55 would go. If it was a 16-90mm (imagine that!) I would have probably used the 90mm a lot more!

645_FUJI : Here photos were mostly in museums and some event reportage.

646_FUJI : This was me shooting my usual lifestyle and street photography

647_FUJI: More friends and family shooting and visiting tourist attractions.

Yep, I think I like the 55mm focal length a LOT. Ha!  Leaning towards the 56mm now. Ooh F1.2!
